Not to justify a view of listers as argumentative, but City Watches 
and such existed far back into the Rennaisance at least, and they 
were definite precursors to the Police of today. There may even be 
examples that far predate that - in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if 
the Romans had police like formations given their high level of 
law and organization.  

So, there's your pint. Feel free to collect it next time you are in 
Ottawa.
